- Background of title screen consists of flat colors instead of a checkerboard pattern.
- Early Japanese logo; lacks the white background of the final version.
- No Reshiram on the bottom screen.
- Debug functions on the bottom left corner of the upper screen.
- No "Developed by GAMEFREAK inc." text.
- "Push Start Button" is on the bottom screen instead of the top, along with the same instructions in Japanese, and is written in a taller and thinner font.
- Interestingly, in the Japanese text, there appears to be a missing character - a question mark in the place of お in the word おして (which means “push”).
